The answer is -8
====================================================
Explanation:
There are two ways to get this answer
Method 1 will have us plug x = 0 into h(x) to get
h(x) = x^2 - 4
h(0) = 0^2 - 4
h(0) = 0 - 4
h(0) = -4
Then this output is plugged into g(x) to get
g(x) = 2x
g(-4) = 2*(-4)
g(-4) = -8 which is the answer
This works because (g o h)(0) is the same as g(h(0)). Note how h(0) is replaced with -4
So effectively g(h(0)) = -8 which is the same as (g o h)(0) = -8
-----------------------
The second method involves a bit algebra first
Start with the outer function g(x). Then replace every x with h(x). On the right side, we will replace h(x) with x^2-4 because h(x) = x^2-4
g(x) = 2x
g(x) = 2( x )
g(h(x)) = 2( h(x) ) ... replace every x with h(x)
g(h(x)) = 2( x^2-4 ) ... replace h(x) on the right side with x^2-4
g(h(x)) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
Now plug in x = 0
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)-8
(g o h)(0) = 0-8
(g o h)(0) = -8
Regardless of which method you use, the answer is -8

Answer:
4x-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
180 = 44 + 3x - 11 + 4x - 7
Combine like terms: 180 = 26 + 7x
Simplify: 154 = 7x
Simplify: 22 = x
Substitute: 3(22) - 11 = 55 and 4(22) - 7 = 81
Create inequality: 44 < 55 < 81
Answer:
D is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see if a line is perpendicular by the slope. If the slope is COMPLETELY opposite from another by means of slope, the lines are perpendicular.
-1/4
4/1
...are opposite.
Well if they ate a total of 14 bananas and each banana is 105 calories, that means that you have to multiply 105 calories by 14 bananas. The answer is 1470 calories.
